CCBill affiliates
 

If you have some nice content, do you think it's still worth it to set up a ccbill affiliate program in 2018 ?

In the past, CCBill affiliate system was simply AWESOME for one-man operations : no need to set up NATS, no need to make payments, your entire accounting was basically done by CCBill, you just had to get your check every week... it was a great solution!

Is it still ? Are there any CCBill affiliate program still running strong these days ?
Does CCBill still process ok ?
Just curious...

If you could get enough affiliates onboard, it would be worth it

I run several CCBill Programs and I am adding another one in 2018 so I'd say the answer is YES.

Are you still a one-man show? If so then definitely go with CCBill (with Epoch in a cascade).

I've been running my CCBill program for 13 years now. The signups continue to stream in all thoughout the day and evening hours ...every single day and night too. In fact, I have been fortunate enough to be able to make a full time living running the site for over 10 years now.

So yeah man, I would most definitely say go for it! I tried the whole NATS thing ...wasn't worth it at all for me. Just seemed overkill for a one man operation ...and that's what I've always been. A one man operation, but a very successful one.

i´m not with ccbill for my payment processing, simply because my website is now modelcentro...

however, i´d never give up my ccbill account, the account would be worth while if we began our own websites but now using for panty and dvd sales, ccbill rocks :thumbsup

IF cross-sales are not important, go with verotel, because of the approval rates.

I'm ballparking the numbers here but it's

85% - Segpay
80% - Epoch, Verotel
60-70% - CCbill.

From my experience working with some of the biggest brands, and as a one man operation. The difference lies in scrub rates, fraud prevention, and blacklists.

I crunched the numbers for myself, and I came to the conclusion that with a 20-25% cross sale take rate, and $35 PPS, the additional revenue from cross-sales would not make up for the increased approval rates I get with Verotel.

Run your own numbers and see if paying the extra $200/month for NATS, is worth the increased throughput you get with using epoch and segpay, over CCBill. If you expect decent volume, it is.

Paypal - A lot of people pick Epoch for the paypal ability. My tertiary observation is that the paypal benefit is offset by the lower non-paypal approval on epoch over segpay. I find segpay and epoch to be fairly equivalent in terms of overall throughput, and it's a matter of what tax environment you work in, and what rate you can negotiate.
